finances OF our city have ever s;ncs been
IN aach ehspe as TO prevent the erection
OF building suited 70 the wants Of our
population. .5ts5 jslli5 l',a w.
Inc present building is entirely in.
adequate and unsuitable for the pufpoae.
The few guards employed BY the city can.
not prevent the prisoners from escaping
should they desire to do SO. Such being
the state Of afiairs you will readily per.
celVe that the desired moral effect OF our
city prison is entirely Lost. '-31f,'S =
